And this is (for me, and likely for others) one of the differences between 
the *Completions* buffer and the minibuffer.  I'm not against making it 
possible to display annotations in the minibuffer for those who want to 
see them there, but hardcoding them is IMO wrong.  And as I said users 
might want to display these annotations with their own formatting, e.g. to 
display only some but not all of them in the minibuffer.
